Experimenting with shutter speeds by the side of the pool one lovely day last summer, I was fascinated with the shapes playing in the waterfalls. Not to wax tooo philosophic, but I think this proves once and for all that we should open our minds to believing in more than what our eyes tell us is reality … because our eyes will NOT see this!!!

This was taken with the Nikon D40x, on manuel at a shutter speed of 1/2000 and ap of f 3.2, iso 100. Taken on June 22, 2008 in Montgomery County, Md.

    Hey Lois, I see a bird in here. Above the white splash there’s another big splash. Look at the upper left of that big splash. It’s very clearly a bird! You can see the beak, the head, the body, maybe even a wing. Cool!

  • Lois Bryan replied

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Great memory, hon!!!!! Yes, this was one of my entries from the old days … honestly … it was VERY easy to do. That’s why I put the camera data up … I actually started out shooting from the hose that we were filling the pool with. Those looked so fun, I decided to try our waterfall. WHO KNEW so much was happening in there!! Yes, DO give it a go!!! You’ll be fascinated!!!!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    HARRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Oh, Di, you’re such a gooooof!!!! Well, but NOT sad what the naked eye misses … just think … extrapolate this out into the universe … what’s really out there that we just are unable, physically to see??? If you really think about it … it opens up ALL KINDS of possibilities!!! And here’s the PROOF!!! LOL!!! And yes, I have had a glass of wine, thank you very much. heeeeee

  • Craig Goldsmith

    Craig Goldsmith

    It’s amazing the forms that water can take, and without the ability to freeze the action we just don’t see it like this. Well taken, I love the composition with the flowers in the background adding a splash of colour and background interest to the main event, the glass like sculpture of falling water.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    thank you so much, Craig!! Yes it was such a fun surprise to see all the crazy shapes!!!! Like a gift!!!! Glad you like the background … I struggled with where to angle the camera and how the flower pot would fit into the composition … so glad you think it turned out okay!!!

    Wow, Lois. You’ve had lots of features on this one. That’s soooo exciting! I do read all of the picture descriptions by each artist, they add so much. The eye does not see this. . .you definitely need to see this in picture format in order to see that cute little bird! Again, congrats on all of your well-deserved features!

    amazing capture!! I never would have noticed the water like this, unless it was in a photo!
    very neat!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Thanks!!! I never would have guessed all this was going on in there either, lol!!! I’d actually set up to get slow shutter speed shots of the waterfall, but honestly, I wasn’t impressed with what I was getting. Just for the heck of it I cranked up the shutter speed and boy, was I surprised!!!

    Lois, Lois, Lois!! Well done and obviously very well loved from all of the comments I just read about you and your photo! Well loved from Vancouver, Washington too! Congrats my dear! All that dancing will help to keep you in shape so you can take photos for many more years! Randy

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Randy, you darling!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I’m thrilled you spotted this little shot and that you enjoyed it!!! Yes, been dancing pretty seriously over this one … the thing is I really started out trying to do a slow shutter speed to get that silky effect. But when it’s not flowing over pretty rocks in a natural setting, it’s kind of dull … so I ramped up the shutter … and here’s what i got!!! A fun surprise!!!!! Thanks again, hon!!!!! hugzzz!!!!!
